Tottenham Hotspur bid farewell to midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, who left on loan to Olympique Lyonnais for the remainder of the season. The deal includes a £54-million option, but a report suggests that the French club won’t be exercising that option.
According to French media outlet L’Equipe (via Sports Witness), the wages that Ndombele is on make it hard for the Ligue 1 side to keep the 25-year-old and that the midfielder is ‘not destined to stay’ at the French club beyond the summer.
Ndombele currently earns €350k a month from Lyon, but in the midfielder’s case, that’s not all he’s receiving.
The France international’s Tottenham wages were approximately €600k per month, with Spurs continuing to top up the €350k with an additional €150k a month, and the player taking a loss of €100k.
If the midfielder returns to north London, Tottenham will have to return to the drawing board to see if they can offload Ndombele permanently.
However, his wages will be a sticking point considering not many will want to pay the high fee and salary for a player that’s underperforming even at Lyon.
Most on here thought he was the messiah.
It’s true, Belly is a useless sack with outrageous talent that he is simply unable to harness and put to any good use. I’m not sure he’s done so badly at Lyon but there’s no way they’re going to pay him what we are. We’ll be paying over half his wages for the next four years if he stays there…
HAHAHAHAHA
Bentancour has done more in mf in 3 months than Tanguy has in 3 years despite Tanguy’s “supposed quality” as he is quoted as offering in the related post.
Tanguy- supposed quality
Levy- alleged businessman
The perfect match.
Lol. Whose going to pay 54 mill & 200k/week for him? Levy needs to lower the fee by 40-50%…. take a leaf out of Arsenals book & how they dealt with Aubameyang 😏
I wonder if he over runs the depreciation model over himself …
All things considered this might just be the worst signing Spurs have ever made, and I’ve seen Royal play RWB!
Will have to lower the asking price, we all know 54m is way too high.
Another humdinger by the most overrated CEO in football. Glad to see that Kyle Walker Peters has been called up by England. A substantially better player than Aurier, Emerson and Doherty. Another example of our beloved leader’s mastery of the transfer market.
This kind of situation is typical of where and how Levy fails, keeping unhappy or substandard players that need to be moved on asap.
Levy has managed to do it again.Another dummy we won’t be able to shift.
